Care to Do Better

Taking care of your people is not only the right thing to do, it’s the right thing to do for your business. This report by Criticaleye Partner, Accenture, identifies five practices, that, when taken together, form a sweet spot for investment - paying dividends for both individuals and the organisation. These practices are as follows: enable continuous learning; listen to what your people need at the front line; use technology to enable flexible work arrangements; champion workforce well-being and equality; and set and share people metrics.

Key takeaways include:

• Prior to the economic crisis, only 35% of C-Suite chief experience officers felt responsible for leaving their people better off. In a mere six months this has jumped to 50%
• In monthly global pulse surveys, 69% of workers expect that companies will start to behave more responsibly and equitably than before 
• 78% of workers now strongly believe their employer is responsible for helping them become net better off
